In 1 Timothy 4:3-4 human food is the thing created, and it is good and to be received by us with thanksgiving. However, the second usage, 1 Timothy 4:4, the thing created is described with a neuter noun, suggesting the idea is not limited to physical nourishment, as we are not to live by bread...

In Colossians 1:16, our verb appears twice, both times referring the past action of God to create all things. In the second usage, the verb is in the "perfect" tense, indicating a past action but with continuing results. Everything created was created for Him, and that purpose continues to...

Mark 13:19 “For those days will be such a time of tribulation as has not occurred since the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will again. Here we have a verse where two of our family of words appear, "creation" is the female noun G2937...

2 Timothy 2:15 tells us to study or be diligent to show ourselves to be a proven worker, not needing to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Another translation renders the idea as accurately handing the word of truth. Discernment is the skill of separating rather than blurring...

Good Grief, must we once again discuss the obvious truth, God chooses believers whose faith He credits as righteousness for salvation. Thus we can believe all the right things, whatever you believe they are, and believe with complete sincerity, but that only puts a person in the bin from which...

The verb "Ktize" G2936 appears six times in the verb participle form, and is translated as "who created,"" "One who creates," and One who created," and "who has been created." Thus this form of the word is used to refer to God, who creates, or born anew humans, who has been created. I have...

On and on, nonsense followed by absurdity, one false claim after another. Did the poster even address "receiving" the reconciliation well after Christ died? Nope. All they do is ignore scripture and post non-germane verses as if they supported their fiction. And never mind the false and...

James 1:18 NASB In the exercise of His will He gave us birth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits among His creatures. Here the noun the neuter gender is used to refer to either all of humanity or those born anew of humanity. My view is that humanity is in view...

Romans 1:20 NASB For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, being understood by what has been made, so that they are without excuse. Here the unstudied view might be...

Begging the lost to be reconciled to God is a ministry to those already reconciled? Nonsense Since how far before the time of Paul's writings is not specified this addition is offered, "they were reconciled when Christ died." Of course this ignores that we have the ministry of reconciliation...

Now we have an absurd argument hoisted to obfuscate. Since how far before the time of Paul's writings is not specified this addition is offered, they were reconciled when Christ died. Of course this ignores that we have the ministry of reconciliation, where we beg the lost to be reconciled...

I see I made a typo in the reference of #4, "Ktistes" (G2939). This noun is used once in scripture, in 1 Peter 4:19, not 4:13. 1 Peter 4:19 NASB Therefore, those also who suffer according to the will of God are to entrust their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right. Here the...

Why not "from the beginning of the creation of everything, God created them (humans) male and female? I had expected someone to have raised this question. The reason is that God has continued His creation of men and women, thus "from the beginning" and not "in the beginning." So the studied...

Yes, those reconciled were reconciled in the past, at the time Paul wrote the verse. :)

Mark 10:6 NASB “But from the beginning of creation, God CREATED THEM MALE AND FEMALE. The first step in discernment is to consider each verse in context, and see if we can determine which meaning (everything, including the physical realm and the spiritual realm such as...

On and on, verse after verse, these poster simply obfuscate the obvious. Romans 5:10 NASB For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved]by His life. All this verse says...

While I agree in part, narrowing the scope of all based on context, my specific conclusion differs. I think "all" refers to all humanity, those to be saved and those never to be saved. And I disagree that paying the ransom automatically saves those ransomed. Paying the ransom provided the...

False doctrine is mostly defended by two ploys, to attack the person trying to present truth, or claim the presentation is unclear or not understandable, again changing the subject to process from substance. Those seeking truth should see these ploys for what they are, non-responsive responses...

Recently I opined that to translate two or more Greek words into the same English word made it difficult to discern what (if any) distinction the inspired word choice was intended to convey. Naturally someone countered with the observation sometimes two or more different Greek words are used to...

So do I. :) The OP is in English.
